Valentino is an autonomous self-driving robot built with the Powder Of Life framework.
The design of Valentino is inspired by a long line of research in simple analog robotics. I like to begin this line in the 1940s with William Grey Walter's robots Elmer and Elsie. For me, the line continues through Valentino Braitenberg's Vehicles, and Mark Tilden's BEAM robotics.


Powder Of Life provides auto-tuning of neurons, and this allows Valentino to have behavior that modulates depending on the nature of the input. So it will act differently in a constrained environment than it will in a more open one.
